Dining

In Southern California, outdoor dining is a coveted commodity and here at Rancho Bernardo Inn it's available in abundance. Sit down to eat at three venues with a variety of cuisines surrounded by Mediterranean style and charm.

Rancho Bernardo Inn Dining

Avant – A culinary destination in its own right, AVANT serves daring, seasonal dishes crafted by Chef Christ Gentile. A sommelier is on hand to help choose a vintage from the Inn's award-winning Wine Spectator list, while craft cocktails are on offer for those seeking something a little stiffer.

Veranda Fireside Lounge & Restaurant – Pick a place by the fire or in the sun on the patio for a warm and hearty brunch, along with fresh local dishes created from ingredients grown on-property at the Inn's private garden.

The Bar – Stop by for a nightcap, a glass of wine, or a craft cocktail and enjoy the lingering longer from sunset to starlight.

Café G – From chilled rose wine to local craft beer, Cafe G is your go-to for grab-and-go snacks and refreshing drinks.

First time staying at RBI for our company retreat. Top-notch event and catering services! Delicious food and desserts.The property was beautiful and well kept. What a hidden gem! Kudos to Charmaine, our event sales manager, Patty, our banquet captain, and their team for putting our event together so beautifully and professionally. They were very attentive and making sure that everything ran smoothly throughout our event. Our whole team had a wonderful time here and can’t wait to be back next year!

Good gateway in San Diego

Mon Jul 28 2025 12:41:04 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Natália P

I am a San Diego local and went for a staycation with my partner. The property is beautiful and the food amazing! I had breakfast, lunch and dinner, tried both restaurant and food are really good (try the scallops entree at Avanti, you won't regret), the service at Avanti is outstanding (Josh is awesome and we will be back). The overall team service is also really good, and I forgot an item at the hotel that upset me a lot, but few days later the team reached out to me, the found it! Made me so happy! Tip: If you are on a romantic getaway, avoid rooms by the family pool, is vacay time for the kiddo and they have activities and can be noisy. There is space for everyone, quitter rooms and adults pool only!

A lovely stay at RB Inn

Tue Jul 22 2025 05:12:48 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Tallma

A wonderful stay at RB Inn with top notch employees. Michael in reservations was on top of making sure our bill was correct after some confusion on our room rate. Lewis knew our names and what we liked to drink and order after the first day for breakfast. The staff at the entrance of the inn were always friendly and helpful. It is definitely a beautiful resort that the staff makes it a pleasure to stay there.

Had dinner at the Veranda last night. Waiter Andy and the Mgn Evan were awesome. Atmosphere and food were exceptional

Wed Jul 16 2025 02:32:30 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Mary A

Last night my friend and I had a lovely dinner at the Veranda restaurant. The weather was perfect as we watched the sun go down over the golf course. We enjoyed drinks and a delicious dinner. I ordered the grilled salmon with corn. He ordered the tenderloin with potatoes. For desert, we had yummy cheese cake. So good!! Service was perfect and so was the food. Pretty pricy but we enjoyed ourselves. Our waiter Andy did a wonderful job. We also liked how the beverage manager Evan made sure everyone was enjoying their dinner and atmosphere. Memorable evening.
